Having selected the image, we need to do a little bit of essential configuration (we could do more, like giving the service a new name):

Specifically, we need to publish the port so that it’s publicly viewable – then we can Create and Deploy the service:

After a minute or two, the service should be up and running:

We can now find the endpoint, and click through to it (note: we need to change the URL from a tcp:// address to an http:// one. (Am I doing something wrong in the set up to stop the http URL being minted as the service endpoint?)

URL tweaked, you should now be able to see an RStudio login screen. The default user is rstudio and the default password rstudio too:

And there we have it:-)

So we don’t continue paying for the server, I generally stop the container and then terminate it to destroy it…

And then terminate the node…

So, assuming the Amazon sign-up process is painless, I’m assuming it shouldn’t be much harder than that?

where the instruction is –
“note: we need to change the URL from a tcp:// address to an http:// one.”
Can you explain how this is done?
I cannot find a way to change tcp to anything other than udp in the settings.

What page are you trying to connect to? If you’re trying to connect to the links that my setup generated, they won’t be there any more; I killed the machine as soon as I was done with it (they’re metered….)
